Honor has a couple of new smartphones lined up for China. While it has the Honor Power 2 with a 10,000mAh battery scheduled for a Q1 2026 launch, the brand is expected to unveil the Honor 500 series and GT 2 lineup before the end of this year. A fresh leak that has emerged today has revealed key details about the GT 2 series.

Honor GT 2 series chipset, key details tipped

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Honor GT 2 and GT 2 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite and 8 Elite Gen 5 chipsets, respectively. With this, he has debunked previous claims that the GT 2 would feature the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC.

Coming to the Honor GT 2 series’ display, a recent leak by tipster Smart Pikachu revealed that both phones will feature a 6.83-inch flat OLED panel that supports a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, similar to the recently unveiled OnePlus Ace 6.

According to DCS’ latest leak, the Honor GT 2 series is also said to feature a 50-megapixel primary camera with a large sensor, an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, a large battery, a metal middle frame, and a fully water-resistant body, which suggests that it may arrive with an IP68/69 rating. The GT 2 duo is expected to run on MagicOS 10 based on Android 16.

In the comments section of the Weibo post, the tipster mentioned that an upcoming Honor phone has a 9,000mAh battery. However, it is unclear whether the tipster was referring to the GT 2 or the GT 2 Pro. As per other leaks, the GT 2 may pack a 9,000mAh (8,800mAh rated value) battery, and both phones may support 100W charging.

Honor GT 2 series launch timeframe

As mentioned above, the tipster revealed that the Honor GT 2 series is tentatively scheduled to debut in December in China. However, there is no information yet on whether these devices will be released globally. As far as the Honor 500 series is concerned, it is expected to go official in November in China.

Earlier this month, the Poco F8 Ultra surfaced in the database of Thailand’s NBTC certification platform. At that time, the rumour mill speculated that the F8 Ultra may launch much earlier than its predecessor. In a new development, the Poco F8 Pro has bagged approval from the same certification. At the same time, both devices along with the Xiaomi 17 and Redmi Note 15 (4G) have also received certification from the IMDA certification platform in Singapore.

As can be seen above, a couple of new phones from Poco, Xiaomi, and Redmi have received approval from the IMDA authority.

The 25102PCBEG device is the Poco F8 Ultra, whereas the 2510DPC44G phone is the Poco F8 Pro, which has also surfaced in Thailand’s NBTC certification. With multiple certifications under their belt, it appears that the F8 series may launch globally before the end of this year.

Poco F8 series

The Poco F8 Ultra and F8 Pro are expected to be rebranded versions of the Redmi K90 Pro Max and Redmi K90, respectively, which recently debuted in China. While the F8 Ultra is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the F8 Pro may arrive with the Snapdragon 8 Elite onboard.

Redmi Note 15 (4G)

While the base Note 15 (4G) has been approved by IMDA, its Pro version bearing the model number 25100RA69G has already been certified by the same certification platform earlier this month. There are no concrete details about the chipsets that will power these models.

Before the end of this year, OnePlus may unveil the OnePlus Ace 6 Turbo as the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 phone. Next year, the brand is expected to launch the OnePlus 15T as one of its first major phones of 2026. Like the previous generation OnePlus 13T (review), the upcoming 15T will be a compact flagship. So far, the rumour mill has already leaked a few details about the device. Now, a leak by tipster Digital Chat Station has reiterated some of its key specifications.

OnePlus 15T key specifications (rumored)

According to the tipster, the OnePlus 15T will feature a 6.31-inch OLED screen that offers a 1.5K resolution. It will be a flat display surrounded by equal-sized bezels on all four sides. For security, it will have an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.

Under the hood, the OnePlus 15T will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which also powers the OnePlus 15. The tipster claimed that the battery size of the OnePlus 15T has not been finalized yet. However, he revealed that the engineering prototype currently under testing shows model numbers starting with “7,” indicating that it may pack a battery of around 7,000mAh capacity. He added that the phone will have an IP68-rated build.

As far as the launch is concerned, the tipster claimed that the OnePlus 15T will be announced in the first half of 2026. The tipster did not mention anything about the 15T’s camera specifications, but reports have already suggested that it will include an ultra-wide lens, which was missing in the previous generation. Hopefully, upcoming reports will reveal more details about the compact flagship.

OnePlus is not the only brand gearing up to launch a compact flagship next year. The 15T is expected to face competition from the likes of the Honor Magic 8 Mini, iQOO 15 Mini, and Oppo Find X9s, which are also expected to launch in 1H26.

The OnePlus 15T may get rebranded as the OnePlus 15s in India.

Oppo is reportedly working on its next-generation foldable phone, the Oppo Find N6. Last year, the Find N5 debuted as the first-ever foldable phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It is speculated that the Find N6, which is expected to launch by early 2026, will be the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 foldable.

Oppo Find N6 key specifications (rumoured)

As per the leak, the Oppo Find N6 will have a 6.6-inch screen on the outside and an 8.1-inch foldable screen on the inside. While the device is said to be thinner and lighter than before, it is expected to pack a 6,000mAh+ battery.

The rear camera setup is said to be headlined by a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-808 main camera, which has a 1/1.4-inch sensor size. It will be joined by an ultra-wide lens (not mentioned in the leak), a thin periscope lens with 3x optical zoom support, and a multispectral sensor.

Like the Find X9 series, the Find N6 is expected to ship with Android 16 and ColorOS 16 preinstalled. It will have other specs such as the Plus key, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and wireless charging support. While the exact IP rating is not mentioned, it is said to offer full-level water resistance. This appears to be the same as the Find N5’s IPX8/9 rating. A previous leak claimed that the device will have a titanium build.

The tipster did not mention the Oppo Find N6’s launch timeframe. Likely, it will break cover in the first quarter of 2026.
